My husband had some violent coughing thus tearing a muscle

Customer Question

My husband had some violent coughing thus tearing a muscle in his stomach. He was on Warfarin so he bled quite a bit. Tests showed he had lost almost 3L of blood so he was immediately hospitalized. He is home now and we wondering if there is anything we can do at home to help the body reabsorb the blood? He is off the comadin for now. Will see the doctor next week. The hardness around his stomach is painful. Hard for him to sit, lie down, etc. What can I do to make him comfortable?JA: Is this a time sensitive issue? What type of specimen are they testing?Customer: No, he was released so no testing is being done right nowJA: Is there anything else in your medical history you would like the doctor to know?Customer: He had an aortic valve replaced in March of this year; he has a pace maker and is A-fib. He is 78 years old
